Good Tuesday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs We in the military have lived this. Every time we PCS to a new unit we try to make things better (or at least I did) No matter how well we do on an inspection, or in accomplishing our mission, there is always room for improvement. That's the point of the "hot wash" to look back and review and see where things could have been better. I try to do that with every workshop I do for the Red Cross; I do my own private "hot wash" to see where I could have done better.

LTC Stephen F.
I expect you are spiritually mature enough to recognize that improving yourself is an appropriate focus and attempting to change others to your own preferences – especially family members and close friends – is a fool’s errand Charlie.
I pray that you and I are becoming more selfless and that we focus our efforts on improving ourselves by asking the LORD for HIS guidance throughout the day, my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray dear God that YOU shake the foundations of those people and organizations intent on continuing their evil actions throughout this nation – third trimester abortion facilities, sex traffickers, corrupt government officials who are bribed to protect criminal enterprises, and federal and state judges who oppose the basics and clear intent of the U.S. Constitution and Amendments.
I thank YOU Holy Spirit for sanctifying each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters as YOU dwell with our soul. YOU justified us at salvation. YOU purge us of desires and everything else which is opposed to YOUR plan for us as YOU improve each one of us in YOUR perfect timing.
I lift the investigation into the United Nations, World Health Organization, and World Trade Organization as well as the governmental leaders of the nations which took the advice of the WHO to keep their borders open to China to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU bless the investigators with wisdom and eyes to see what the corrupt and complicit attempt to keep out of sight. Do what it takes dear God to bring down corruption in the UN and its subsidiaries.
I pray that YOU bless President Donald Trump, his wife Melania and his children, Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their children, their staffs and protective details with wisdom and favor and positive answers to their prayers for this nation.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Tuesday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

"Improvement Day" today begins with the city engineer to advise me on my water barrier berm. The stay-at-home order had certainly opened time for me to make improvements around home. Life gets in the way and we don't make time to take care of home. So it seems an entity out of human control did so. Have a great "Improvement Day" COL Mikel J. Burroughs.

PO3 Phyllis Maynard
LTC Stephen F. I am in agreement with these righteous words of wisdom. And yes sir, I tend to be foolish by trying to invite persons close to me to make changes that are good for them. In most instances, they are met with opposition.

My contribution (at present, anyway) for Improvement Day is this- at present I am 90 minutes in on CSpan2's Book TV presentation of an in-depth interview with author Shelby Foote, which can be found on You Tube. I am enjoying it immensely and have 30 minutes to go. Turns out he was a fellow fan of Proust and Chekhov. I shall strive to make the remainder of the day equally edifying. After all, the skeet ranges are closed.
As usual, great topic, sir. Have a wonderful day.

1LT Peter Duston - Proust takes a while. Not done on the first go. Some people I enjoy talking with thought the world of him (they are gone, now), so I have invested the effort, and it is worth it. But, as you say, not everyone's cup of tea.
